BREAKING: Days After Amaechi’s Speech Amid Tinubu’s Certificate Controversy, Former APC Presidential Aspirant Congratulates Tinubu On Supreme Court Victory

A prominent member of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and a former Presidential aspirant, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has extended his congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the Supreme Court’s decision, affirming his win in the February 25 presidential election. Olawepo-Hashim also urged President Tinubu to now direct his attention towards the task of “rescuing Nigerians from the daily grim realities they face, with utmost dedication”.

Both Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party had appealed to the Apex court to reject and nullify the September 6 Judgment of PEPT, which upheld President Tinubu’s victory.

In a press release in Abuja on Friday, Olawepo-Hashim explained that “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the one with the democratic mandate, has more work to do with the economy hit by its worse inflation in over twenty years, and the Nation’s currency devalued at 80% in four months of his administration at the unofficial market.”

He added that “hitting the ground running now would not be enough as he now needs to fly when needed.”

He stated that although “the legal challenges to the outcome of the 2023 Presidential election have come and gone rounding up with the verdict of the Supreme Court on sundry appeals on the 26th of October 2023. I want to congratulate President Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) for a hard won victory.”

According to him, “the dogged but civil challenges mounted by the duo after the election are important contributions to our democracy and would enrich our Jurisprudence.”

“Both the winner and those whose petitions did not succeed at the courts must now commit themselves as leaders to the important tasks of uniting the country, securing the nation and rescuing
the economy, and improving the welfare of her people.

The former Presidential Candidate also recalled that “before and after election, we had counselled severally that the Post -Buhari Administration must be a Government of National Unity akin to the post civil war cabinet of General Gowon, owing to the severe fracture of the polity and the horrendous damage to the economy.”

According to him, “some people in their opinion after the election had dismissed the suggestion, arguing instead that what is needed is a government of “national competence”. The country is now impatiently waiting to see the “competence” as the people’s welfare take the turn for the worse.”

He also counselled that “the opposition party which divided its rank into three and half during the build up to the 2023 election, has a job to do if it must be relevant to Nigeria’s immediate political future.”

Olawepo-Hashim maintained that “Nigeria demands more seriousness from all political leaders as the grim realities that Nigerians confront daily is not the occasion for pettiness and shodiness.”
